That's all Joriah Kwamé.
And believe it or not, it wasn't part of a musical. In fact, it was written for a competition helmed by Mean Girls star Taylor Louderman.
In this episode, host and actor Maggie Bera chats with Joriah about how Little Miss Perfect went from a viral hit to a full-fledged musical to be staged at Goodspeed Musicals, how he used the momentum from TikTok and YouTube to have his work commissioned at major theatre companies, and what you should keep your eye out for!
